Glenbrook Academy of International Studies
The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies is a four year program with students from Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South High Schools. 30 freshmen are selected each year through an application process. Founded in 1981 to give students a more global perspective, it covers English, Social Studies, and a foreign language. Each class learns a different foreign language from a rotation of four: Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese. The application process involves written recommendations, a mailed essay, an impromptu essay, and an interview with faculty.
